Summer reading 2017 recap

Now that professional responsibilities have formally resumed, I suppose summer reading must lose its seasonal qualifying adjective. To mark that occasion, here's a list of books I finished since Memorial Day (along with parenthetical notes)...

This list comprises eight works of fiction and a dozen nonfiction titles. I consumed seven as e-books, one as an audio book, and the rest as I-turned-actual-pages paperbacks or hard covers. Of the latter, two I owned and the rest I borrowed from the library.

Interesting list and I appreciate how you noted how you read them. A few of my favorites this summer were Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi and Refugee by Alan Gratz. Favorite professional read was Dynamic Teaching for Deeper Reading by Vicki Vinton. As we approach the first day of school, my reading life has diminished in intensity. Sigh.

So, we really have to say goodbye to summer reading??? Sniffle! Today was my first day teaching, so yeah, we do. Our lists do not overlap at all, although I have read some of yours. I made a door display of the covers of my summer reads.
